[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 636205, member: 9253"] The 6.5 Rem mag should be easier if starting with a 300 Win Mag action than a 6.5-06 since it doesn't require a bolt modification. For shooting VLDs a 6.5-06 or a 264 Win mag won't shoot VLDs from a SAAMI length (3.34") mgazine either . A 6.5 WSM is a possible choice too. Both the 6.5 Rem Mag and the 6.5 WSM would be better in a long action for shooting VLD bullets than the short actions usually used for factory rifles. When I had this choice to make I chose a 264 Win Mag in a Rem 700 (3.6") long action with a 28" barrel throated for 140 Bergers. It gives excellent performance 1000 yards (+) from a bipod or bags but its' too heavy for a stalking rifle. It may only give 1000 shots but I doubt I'll wear it out. [/QUOTE]
